Every year, all section editors of The European Physical Journal (EPJ) published by the Springer Verlag choose particularly outstanding persons from all current reviewers to express the appreciation for their personal responsibility for the quality and timeliness of work.
EPJ arose in 1998 as a merger and continuation of Acta Physica Hungarica, Anales de Física, Czechoslovak Journal of Physics, Il Nuovo Cimento, Journal de Physique, Portugaliae Physica and Zeitschrift für Physik. Currently, it belongs to a group of leading european physical journals indexed in the most important databases, such as Web of Science, Scopus and others. Moreover, there are 25 European national physical associations represented in the EPJ's Scientific Committee.
In the past year, the distinguished group of reviewers was joined by prof. dr hab. Wiesław Leoński from our university, who was awarded the title of Distinguished Referee 2017. Professor Leoński is the founder and head of the Quantum Optics and Engineering Division at the Institute of Physics UZ.
